Other informationLiving conditions and remarks

General: Mogadishu is the HQ of UN operations in the Somalia area and is a non-family duty station. The UN Volunteer will be subject to the overall direction and guidance of the UN Designated Official (DO) for security. The volunteer will be incorporated into all applicable security protocols and will be required to adhere to the guidelines, security plans, and other directives issued by the DO. While in Somalia, the volunteer will be housed in UN-provided accommodation in the UN Compound at the Aden Abdulle International Airport (AAIA). Accommodation: Due to the security situation in the UNSOS mission area and the fact that there is no private living accommodation, expatriate personnel deployed to Mogadishu are provided secure accommodation in a camp environment. Some accommodation (hard wall and prefabs) is paid for by UN personnel on a monthly basis, while bunkerized sea container accommodation is provided free of cost. UN-provided accommodation is equipped with basic furniture. Power and water are provided by the UN inside the camp to its occupants. Food and Diet: There are UN Contractor-managed dining facilities within the UN Camp in Mogadishu where food can be purchased. Personnel may cook their own meals in common kitchens within the camp. Health: Exposure exists to several tropical diseases. All medical formalities specified in the Offer or Travel Advisory should be completed before traveling. Yellow Fever vaccination is compulsory before coming to the mission area, while vaccinations for Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid, Tetanus/Diptheria, Polio, and Meningitis are recommended. A vaccination Card (yellow card) must be brought. Malaria prophylaxis is highly recommended. Due to the large number of various types of insects in the mission area, it is also recommended to use insecticide-impregnated nets and insect repellants. UN personnel have access during working hours to a Civilian Clinic inside the UNSOS Camp in Mogadishu. Rest and Recuperation: International personnel, including UN Volunteers working in the UNSOS mission area, are entitled to a Rest and Recuperation break after every four-week period in Somalia. Nairobi is the designated R&R location to which transportation is provided. R&R consists of five calendar days, with an additional two days of travel time. Accommodation, meals, and other expenses while on R&R are borne by the individual. The timing of when R& R is taken must be balanced against operational requirements.
